I posted links in the video thread to NCAA matches from 2017. I got a chance to watch a few teams and I shall say I am impressed with the Hawaii University's team. As far as I know, they play in the toughest division in the league and will have big chances of doing something more in case they advance, right? I haven't found matches of BYU and Long Beach, two teams which have some familiar names in their rosters. I would watch them too if they continue posting videos.

I think the Hawaii team this year has been pretty good and consistent, but I feel like they haven't proven themselves against the top-ranked teams (lost to LBSU x2, W @ UC Irvine) and they still have to play BYU, UCLA and Stanford. At this point, I think they have no problem getting into the MPSF post season tournament, if they win that, they will have an automatic bid to the NCAA championship; even if they don't, they still have a chance for one of the 2 at-large bids (based on their performance and record so far). And I really like their freshman Bulgarian opposite Parapunov! However, their starting opposite Van Tilburg has been playing amazing so far. Coach Wade actually tried to have both of them in the starting line-up, he moved Van Tilburg to outside and have Parapunov at opposite but it didn't really work. It's quite a shame that Parapunov only has limited playing time.

BYUTV does a great job with the matches. Yes, they are homers, but very knowledgable, plus adding in the fans watching from home twitter comments too. Watched a ton of Sandman matches when they always just got short of winning the title.
